it's been fine, for me

However after I got vista + 4gbs of ram, it won't run them at stock speeds (I blame either ram or vista, but i'm not completely sure.)

what a crappy design around the sata/mem/vga power/ide area, sooo cramped

Or from another point of view, close together cables mean better airflow.

true in some ways, but what a pain if you have to move anything about or cool your ram

infact I never noticed the first time but the front panel connectors are between the vga molex and the memory slot as well!!

and if you have a newer case with a bottom mounted power supply (eg a p180 among others) then you have to contend with the main power bundle passing right over all that lot too.

true about the front panel connectors. i have psu over my mobo so thats not a problem for me
and there is plenty of room for changing and cooling the ram (have u noticed the 2 sata connectors under the floppy connector? no need to use the upper ones )
I'm quite impressed with this mobo and I will probably buy this after summer with ocz sli ready memory

The front panel connectors is a very good point. It had to take a pair of scissors to mine to get one of them on - the power LED. Now I've accidentally reversed the polarity of the connector so the power light is on when my computer is off and off when it is on. I'l change it one day when I can be bothered.

I forgot about that.
